Empowering Learners (new AASL Guidelines)
Gulp - the new AASL guidelines, Empowering Learners, cost $42. $42 for 64 pages. That’s a lot.
But as I’ve been discussing the guidelines with friends and colleagues, it occurs to me that the document identifies instructional partner as our #1 future role … and yet the guidelines have little to do with creating a school environment that makes that partnering possible. Instead, the guidelines primarily concern themselves with collection development, staffing, and library management.
Now isn’t that interesting.
